Five Goodgymers ran 4-5k to help the Story Garden in Somers Town!

Welcome along to newbie Mercedes - great to have you along!

This month's addition of the GGxFacebook Run we were helping the wonderful Story Garden, a new community garden that opens next week. There are run by Global Generation, who are an educational environmental charity that teaches local kids about growing/gardening, and supports the local community.

Massive help!

After a 1km run we arrived, checked in with Martina and talked through their big plans! She set us to work with four tasks which we did in turn:

1. Shifting bags of compost that will be used to fill planters in the polly tunnel.
2. Next we moved some heavy oak sleepers and laid them out in position for the big planters to be made.
3. Following on we split into two teams - one pair collected up cut ends of woods to pile up. The space will be used to put up a yurt today!
4. Lastly we collected up and piled up big pieces of rubble, which will help to make the site be less like and building site.

Martina and the team at Story Garden are so appreciative of our work, you guys are really helping to build a local community garden from scratch. Come back in a few weeks and see how much it's grown!

After all that fantastic work we took a group picture and then headed to Granary Square for a progressive lap - nice!

We are arranging our next run for early August, keep an eye out and bring your friends!
